If A exceeds B by 40%, B is less than C by 20%, then A : C is

A. 28 : 25

B. 26 : 25

C. 3 : 2

D. 3 : 1

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let B = 100 Then,
A = 100 + 40% of 100 = 140
Let C = X
X - 20% of X = 100
0.8X = 100
X = $$\frac{{100}}{{0.8}}$$ = 125
∴ A : C = $$\frac{{140}}{{125}}$$ = 28 : 25
